 | | During the war, Private Flynn, escaping heavy fighting and sell bombing while medicating the wounded, also had to fight against influenza and other conditions, as his regiment was always on the move. |
 | | In November, 1918, John's medical detachment, along with the regiment, moved to the Damvillers area, where one of the deadliest battles of WWI took place. |
 | | Hidden, low-flying German planes infiltrated the American lines with a hail of high explosive shells, killing 196 men from the regiment and wounding 160 officers and men. |
